Behind the polished image of one of Britain’s most famous families, a quiet rift is reportedly unfolding — marked by absence, silence, and a woman at the center of it all.
The Beckham family has long projected an image of unity — stylish, successful, and close-knit in the public eye. But recent events suggest a change behind the scenes, with growing distance reported between Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham, the eldest sons of David and Victoria.
At the center of the reported tension is Kim Turnbull, who once had a connection with Brooklyn and is now dating Romeo. According to a TMZ the two brothers are no longer speaking.
What might seem like a personal issue has reportedly caused a visible divide in the Beckham family. From skipped events to silence on social media, the distance between Brooklyn and Romeo has become harder to ignore.
Brothers Once Close, Now Distant
Brooklyn and Romeo have often appeared in sync, publicly supporting one another at fashion shows, family holidays, and shared career moments. Though their lives have followed different paths — Brooklyn now based in Los Angeles with wife Nicola Peltz, and Romeo living in London with their parents — their bond once seemed unshakeable.
That changed in late 2024, when Brooklyn reportedly grew increasingly concerned about Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull. TMZ reported that his concerns weren’t driven by resentment toward his brother. “There’s no ill will toward Romeo himself,” a source told the outlet. “Brooklyn just doesn’t approve of Kim dating him.”
Brothers Once Close, Now Distant
The friction is amplified by history. Years before she began dating Romeo, Kim reportedly had a romantic connection with Brooklyn. While sources insist that chapter is behind them, it lingers in the subtext — particularly given the high-profile social circles wherein both grew up.
In 2016, Kim was dating Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, and was frequently seen in the same orbit as Brooklyn. The two were photographed together laughing at a London café. Kim’s return to the Beckham inner circle carries a different weight — this time, as Romeo’s partner.
Kim and Rocco: A Relationship in the Spotlight
Kim and Rocco were once a fixture on the London fashion scene. They attended the Versus show at London Fashion Week in 2017 and appeared together at the premiere of “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” But their relationship was set against turbulent headlines.
In September 2016, Rocco was arrested for cannabis possession during a contentious custody battle between his parents. Madonna later released a statement asking for privacy and pledging support for her son.
Throughout this period, Kim stood by Rocco’s side — and, by association, remained linked to the high-profile families orbiting the Beckhams.
That connection, while years old, continues to echo as she enters a new chapter with Romeo.
A New Chapter: Romeo and Kim Go Public
In November 2023, Romeo quietly went Instagram official with Kim by posting a photo of himself kissing her hand in the backseat of a car. Nearly a year later, in November 2024, the couple appeared together in public for the first time.
They were spotted holding hands at F1 driver Lando Norris’ birthday party, and shortly after, photographed leaving Chiltern Firehouse after a night out. These appearances marked their first confirmed outings as a couple, as reported by Hello! Magazine.
The timing raised some eyebrows. In October 2024, Romeo was seen kissing Gray Sorrenti, a fashion photographer and daughter of Mario Sorrenti, during a walk in New York City.
Gray had previously photographed Romeo for a Saint Laurent campaign in 2022. Their outing led to speculation about a possible romance, though it was never confirmed.
That narrative quickly faded when Romeo stepped out with Kim — making it clear where his relationship stood.
